Studies about the Holocaust and other genocides address a central tenet of education: What does it mean to be a responsible citizen in a democratic society? Such study can help students realize that:
The genocide of the Jews during World War II and the Nazi Era was a “watershed event” in human history.
Democratic institutions and values are not automatically sustained but need to be appreciated, nurtured, and protected.
Silence and indifference to the suffering of others, or to the infringement of human and civil rights in any society—however unintentionally—serves to perpetuate the problems.
Genocides are not “accidents” in history— genocides occur because individuals, organizations and governments make choices that not only legalize discrimination but allow prejudice,hatred and ultimately mass murder to occur.
